My Adventure

Greyson here. You'll never guess what happened to me the other night!

It all started when Mom and Dad left the house for days (okay it was a couple of hours - but it felt like days) and did not return till it was dark out. As soon as Mom walked through the door I made a break for the garage. I wanted to know where they had been. She spotted me and scooped me up for snuggles.

My snuggles ended too fast as she and Dad started to go about their business. Mom went out the front door to pick up a package and Dad took out the trash through the garage door.

Quill caught a bug on his own without my interference help and ate from his own dish uninterrupted. So he was the first to realize something was off.

I was not in the house! I had escaped through one of the doors and was outside!! There were so many bugs to kill - it was awesome!

As Mom was going through the mail Quill was desperately trying to get her attention. He even yowled! She picked him up and followed him around trying to figure out what was wrong - but she didn't figure it out.

About 15 minutes into my adventure I started to miss being inside with my family. I mean I like bugs but maybe Quill was inside getting kitten biscuits or snuggles... I had to know.

I started meowing at the top of my voice (I am only an honorary member of the Diminutive Meower's Club) at the front door. Luckily Dad was checking something online and heard "Some cat meowing..."

Suddenly Mom realized why Quill was acting strange and why things seemed so off. She ran to the door and there I was - loud and proud. I was snuggled by both parents and given a serious tongue bath by Quill. All in all it was an exciting adventure - I was told I should never try again.

Whew, Greyson, we're glad you're safe! We bet you took at least a few months off your humans' lives. But talk about thick-headed, what with Quill pointing out the obvious and your humans not getting it!

We bet your Mom just about had a heart attack! Quill is a HERO! And Greyson, please don't scoot out again, tell your Mom to bring the bugs INSIDE for you, where it's safe! before we had the Catio, Daddy used to go outside and catch moths for us--true story.

Thank you so much for your kind words about Auntie El's passing. We're sorry it's taken so long to reply but Mom is having a hard time. It's comforting to have the support of the Cat Blogosphere at this sad time.

Greyson, what a naughty boy. Fiona keeps doing that too, but she is a little harder to get in. Mom says she's on house arrest and can't go out when mom gardens until she relearns the rules. So happy you are safe! Purrs and hugs from the kitties at The Cat on My Head, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Josette

It's really exciting to go outside to hunt Greyson, but you have to be used to do it, because it's really dangerous too ! As a housecat, it's better for you to stay safe at home, and not scary your Mum like this... Loupi and Zorro, experimented adventurers of outside

Oh, sweet Greyson, we are so glad you are back inside and alright!!...Our Mommy is always counting heads around here because she worries about one of us getting out (she lost her cat before us, Nikki, for about 12 hours once and it scared her to death and made her cry all day until Nik was home again!)...Happy Tuesday, precious friends...xoxo...Calle, Halle, Sukki
